panini sandwiches

2 slices bread (like a light rye)
olive or grapeseed oil
thinly sliced meat (salami, pastrami, turkey breast...anything, really)
tomato slices
thinly sliced cheese (mozzarella and emmenthal or havarti)
thin slices of vidalia onion
thinly sliced hot peppers
alphalpha sprouts
pesto (I used sun-dried tomato pesto)
mayonnaise
salt and pepper

directions:

1. Turn on panini grill (or George Foreman Grill) to preheat. Brush one side of bread with olive oil and put (oil side down) on plate. In a small bowl, mix pesto and mayonnaise together; spread on the side of bread facing up.

2. Add one type of cheese. Stack meat, tomatoes, onion, peppers, sprouts and second type of cheese on top. Spread pesto-mayo on second slice of bread, add salt and pepper and put sandwich together. Brush top with olive oil.

3. Place on preheated grill and close or put panini weight on top. Grill until cheese starts to melt and bread has grill marks. Serve with salad or home made chips or onion rings.
